Bio / Resume
Dan Holland lives on the Central California coast in Arroyo Grande. He and his wife Louise moved to California from Denton, Texas in 1987 where they met at North Texas State University (Dan graduated in Computer Science). They gradually moved up the coast, from Long Beach to Santa Barbara and finally to A.G. (near San Luis Obispo) about 10 years ago.
Dan is a self-taught artist and paints abstract works with influences that swing from the local scenery to regular life drawing sessions to machinery and worklife at Diablo Canyon, a nuclear power plant where Dan works as a Database Administrator. You could call him an Abstract Expressionist, but reality is close at hand and Dan still paints watercolors on-site to keep the wheels in motion for when he hits the canvas with acrylics, collage and charcoal, among other things.
